Abstract

This article explores Indonesia’s ambivalent approach to refugee governance through the concept of “Affective Pragmatism.” This concept addresses the tension, which is not accidental but structural, between emotion-driven humanitarian commitments and fear-based concerns regarding border security. While the 1951 Refugee, Convention calls for universal protection, Indonesia promotes humanitarian diplomacy, at the regional level through the Bali process, while maintaining tight control over domestic asylum policies. Drawing on constructivist and postcolonial theory, this article seeks to demonstrate how political memory, particularly the legacy of the 1955 Bandung Conference, has shaped Indonesia’s affective response to various humanitarian crises. In this article, the Rohingya are incorporated into a shared narrative of empathy and postcolonial trauma, while other illegal migrants face indifference and rejection. By linking affective pragmatism to debates on the contestation of norms and the politics of exclusion, this article offers a framework for understanding how emotions and memory create an uneven landscape of protection and contribute to the evolving debate on refugee governance in Global South countries, including Indonesia.

Abstract

This article explores how the Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival constructs ‘Asia’ in its curatorial practices. It is about the ways in which films, programs, and institutional narratives produce recognition for some histories and marginalize others. The study employs Critical Discourse Analysis, drawing on postcolonial thinkers such as Said, Fanon, Spivak, Maggio, Chen and Acharya. The analysis is based on the institutional texts of the 20th edition of JAFF. The findings point to three connected levels of hierarchy: relations between the West and Asia, unequal representation among Asian sub-regions, and differences between Indonesia’s curatorial center and grassroots film communities. Central Asian cinema and community-based Indonesian filmmaking receive less institutional framing than other forms of Asian cinema. These absences can be read as political forgetting because they affect which histories are given a place in regional memory. At the same time, JAFF creates room for decolonial practices through Asian symbolic references and curatorial independence. The authors contend that cultural institutions beyond formal political institutions, such as film festivals, can be sites of the reproduction of global hierarchies.

Abstract

This article examines how of political memory shapes downstreaming policies and Indonesia’s energy transition. Existing studies on downstreaming mainly emphasize political economy, industrialization, foreign investment, and geopolitical competition over strategic minerals. However, the historical experience of colonial extraction and long-term economic dependence also plays an important role in shaping contemporary energy policy. This study argues that Indonesia’s downstreaming and energy transition agendas are driven by economic growth and industrial objectives, but also by collective memories of Indonesia’s historical role as a global raw material supplier. The study uses a qualitative interpretive approach through document analysis of presidential speeches, downstreaming regulations, Energy Law, the RPJMN, and other official state documents on energy and strategic minerals. The findings demonstrate that narratives such as “energy sovereignty,” “downstreaming,” and “raw material export bans” symbolize state efforts to escape colonial extractive structures. Downstreaming is framed as both a historical correction and a source of national pride within the green energy transition. Nevertheless, Indonesia’s green industrialization remains heavily dependent on foreign investment and technology, particularly from China, revealing the paradox between resource nationalism and contemporary global dependency.

Abstract

This study examines the social media used in the Global Sumud Flotilla social movement within the framework of transnational activism. Prior studies have not clearly elucidated the social media used in the Global Sumud Flotilla campaign. This research uses qualitative methods and qualitative content analysis to examine social media content about the Global Sumud Flotilla. Crosstab and word cloud analyses in NVivo 12Plus were used to qualitatively examine primary data from the official X account. The findings reveal a communication duality: 31.58% of the material focused on operational logistics (“Mobilization” and “Update Tracking”), while 68.42% emphasized narrative construction (“Rising Voice” and “Share Information”) to cultivate unity. This illustrates digital “connective action”, where multilingual hashtags and culturally pertinent expressions such as Sumud bypass governmental intermediaries to aggregate knowledge and organize actionable projects. Social media is essential in transforming scattered internet compassion into concrete physical endeavor. This research is constrained by its exclusive focus on textual analysis on a single platform (X), neglecting the algorithmic differences on visual platforms such as Instagram or TikTok. Future investigations should use a multi-faceted methodology that integrates internet ethnography, volunteer interviews, and extensive data analytics.
